Testimonial

Dear Virato,

I love how you skillfully blend your ability to be present and transparent at the same time and your skill of being in control, but not controlling, allowing your guest to express him/herself; their passion, feelings, and knowledge on the topic as completely as possible in the time allotted.

It shows that you take the time to know the topic. You ask good questions and give your guest time to answer. Your response to their comments are supportive and allows your guest to get to the "meat of the matter" quickly.

Listening to this creative, "vocal artwork panorama" on my radio, or computer, is a very satisfying experience.

Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration.

Warmest regards,
Richard & Jane Cicchetti,
Fairview, NC

Profile Targeted by...

LIFESTYLE_______________________________________

Here is a composite of a VIRATO LIVE! viewer. He or she (52% female) most likely also listens to NPR, is Internet savvy, probably voted for Al Gore in 2000, and Barack Obama in 2008, he or she surely knows what organic means, and is bright enough to understand the program's topics and guests...or is interested in learning.

Sprinkle the composite liberally with those exploring their inner selves through metaphysics, spirituality, and expanded consciousness.

Now, dose with former (and current) hippies, tarot card readers (and a few card-carrying "new agers"), yoga aficionados, crystal gazers, Tommy Chong flashbacks, tree-huggers, and a few wannabe revolutionaries.

Sparingly add peace, human and animal rights activists, and those who recognize the unconsciousness of war and the need for exposing a dysfunctional society at the forefront of their activism. A good portion are Cultural Creatives.

They also magically find plenty of disposable income to share with our advertisers. Maybe it's because they're not addicted to spending their money in the malls or on fashion and "made-in-china" trinkets from Wal-Mart.

This is of the radio show.
